His numerous accolades include a Guggenheim fellowship and four Obie Awards for his acting and writing, and most recently a fifth Obie for Sustained Achievement. Tony Kushner once declared Greenspan \"probably all-around the most talented theater artist of my generation,\" and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e has called his performances \"irresistible.\" \u003ci\u003eThe Myopia and Other Plays\u003c\/i\u003e brings together five of Greenspan's most important works, accompanied by a critical introduction and new interview with the playwright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreenspan's work---often semiautobiographical, always psychologically intense---deals with issues of memory, family, doubt, and sexuality. The plays in this collection take particular interest in the motivations for erotic and aesthetic expression, forces inextricably linked in Greenspan's world. Critic and scholar Marc Robinson's informative introduction and lively interview with Greenspan further increase the collection's appeal to lovers of inventive playwriting, as well as students and scholars in the fields of Performance Studies, English, American Studies, and LGBT Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Greenspan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472051733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472051731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"David Greenspan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919896314111,"sku":"9780472051731","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_007848db-fe57-46b5-8e84-2d13163bd33c.jpg?v=1680812507","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-myopia-and-other-plays-david-greenspan-9780472051731","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
